Delta Connection incident in SAV...

[TOOL CRIB]

RWY 18 not grooved

 

[instructordude]

Runway 18? 7002'x150', no ILS.

7000 Ft???? Holy Obama!, you could do a stop and go on that thing. There must be something else to this incident. I can't imagine somebody rolling of the end of a 7000 ft runway.

Real senior CA, but pretty junior FO. Wonder who landed.

Hopefully everyone had their clothes on when they came off the airplane.....just sayin'

Ouch!!

No you did'unt!

 

[pipers]

Yup...and on a similar note, you can add me to the list of people that don't give a crap how softly you land when you leave 2-3K feet of runway behind us in the process.

Well said.

Non-grooved runway in [perhaps] heavy rain following a non-precision approach. No visual slope indicators either.

Whoooo.....

The Gray Ghost? Master of the the flight bag toss/FAA Inspector foot crush double? Turns around a point on the Arrival?

Ouch.

Doesn't look like it was the "white dragon" this time...

-Damn! That old bat is scary!

The scarier part is : I have flown with worse than her.

Sounds like ASA sucks.

Sounds like ASA sucks.

Investigation might turn up something mechanical, like brake failure. As for now all we have is eyewitness testimony. Someone saw and Airbus-700 land and "you could see that the pilot even extended these flap things that popped up on the wing in a last ditch effort to stop the plane."

Fitting username, btw.

I thought this was good....not

Spokesperson from ASA. Kate Modolo says the plane did not overshoot the runway as some witnesses had reported. “It’s important to make clear the plane landed on the runway and was in the process of de-accelerating,“ she tells me.

All the years I was at ASA, I don't remember that in any manual.....

Wow, she applied so much spin that it could make a major league curve ball look like slow pitch softball.

Glad no one was seriously hurt!

This and the fire in TLH, SkyWest is off to a good start this year

She probably said it right, maybe it was the crackpot SAV reporter who screwed up the spelling.
